“Promote in all children a strong sense of who they are and their connectedness to others – a shared identity as Australians…” - Belonging, Being and Becoming, The Early Years Learning Framework for Australia, page 23. A strong sense of individual identity can be supported through activities that promote and advance collective identities; Australia Day is one of those days that acts as an important time for early childhood educators to embrace the local community and most importantly engage parents in the celebration of our share identity.

The start of a new school year can be an anxious time for both children and parents – especially if your child is starting school or care for the first time. To help ease the anxiety, we have asked our team to share their first day words of advice.

Educational Experience would like to acknowledge the Traditional Owners of this land on which we meet and create upon. We pay our upmost respect to the elders past and present of this beautiful country as they have pathed the way for ourselves and for future generations to come.
